US Defence related thread

Right now, all they can do is suppress the bases. The question is will the Americans try a tactical nuke on the bases? There are over 130 of them, so that would not work either as a solution.

Can the Americans conduct commando raids on each and every missile base? Given the location, there are some they can take from the inside and destroy, but not all of them.

A touch nut for them to crack.

A tactical nuke or two on one missile base to see if it will be destroyed is certainly a possibility with Trump. He wants to end this on a high note and was quite impressed with MOAB use in Afghanistan.
 
Seeing reports that Irans Parliament Speaker Mohammed Ghalibaf was killed tonight in a targeted strike

Still unconfirmed
 
Trump seems to become more unhinged the older he gets. Not even sure he knows/remembers what he is saying.

@AZ_HighCountry Looks like Trump confirmed the F-35 deal again. No mention of when the first deliveries will occur though. To my great annoyance.

Also claims online, which makes no sense to me, that GBU-57 bombs will be sold to KSA? Did Trump ever mention that like many Twitter accounts are claiming or is this the usual nonsense?

Are you counting small dingies as boats ? ... Iranian navy doesn't have 150 ships .

Thread 'US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War'

Purpose of this thread is dedicated to discussion of the current conflict between Iran with Israel and the US from the American perspective. Do be aware that ALL members are welcome to post here as well in the primary thread in the Iranian section. I for one want to see good quality discussion back and forth regardless of the side you support.

Initially, this discussion has been taking place in the US Defence Related thread. Unfortunately, and admittedly an error on my part, discussion now is so much around the current conflict that the original purpose of US Defence Related has lost its...

Thanks.

Reminder that this is for any and all US defense related matters that don't necessarily warrant a dedicated thread.

No discussion of the Iran - Israel / US conflict from the US perspective in this thread. There is a thread dedicated to that.

F-35 Crashes In The Nevada Test And Training Range Complex (Updated)
​

We have now gotten a statement from the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB (the range complex falls under the installation’s command). We now know the F-35 that was lost was based out of Nellis. F-35s are major tenants of the base, for weapons tests and tactics development tasks and aggressor duties, and visiting F-35s frequent the base for training and exercises. The statement reads:

An F-35 from Nellis AFB crashed north of Las Vegas today. The incident occurred approximately 25 miles northeast of Indian Springs, Nevada, within the controlled airspace and restricted federal property of the Nevada Test & Training Range.

Emergency responders are on-scene and there is no impact to populated areas. The pilot is safe and being treated for minor injuries. The safety of our personnel and the community remain our top priority.
